(Unknownn image credits)Guys, I’ll be off for some time, taking a well deserved vacation break. Couture et Tricot is a source of information for many people and will remain up for public access (though comments are moderated); I will try to reply to your comments as possible (please leave your email or make sure it’s on your public profile, or my reply will be published on the comment area).

As for my other blog Tany et La Mode, when I decided to start this new blog I mentioned that probably later it would become a private blog accessible by invitation only and so it is, from now on. If you are genuinely interested please send me an email identifying yourself and your motivation (my email is now on my public profile). I will grant access to the people I know and usually comment here and/or there. Wishing you all the best!

You don't know me, but I have been following your Couture et Tricot blog for a couple of years and have found it very helpful and inspiring. I'm curious, where did you learn to sew? You're an expert. I also enjoyed Tany et la Mode very much. I particularity enjoyed seeing how you integrated your sewn items with bought items. Please allow me access. Have a good vacation. Thanks, Anni

Hi Anni, thanks! I learned to sew by myself, by trial and error, by reading books about sewing and practicing with patterns from sewing magazines like Burda. I also learned a lot from people I met through blogging. The internet is a great source of knowledge too.To grant you access I'll need your email address so I can send you an invitation and a link for your access. Please email me (tany0471@sapo.pt)

When I click on "email" in your profile all I get is a sign up for GMail. I do not see your address or a way to contact you. Am I missing something here? I definitely would love to be part of the new blog.Thanks. Bunny

EN Summary: After cleaning up the lining on the sleeves and sleeve vent, I couldn’t help myself and finished the cuffs. I recorded a short movie on Instagram which will give you an idea of how it looks :). Then I proceeded with setting in the sleeves by hand. Keep reading to find out about my progress so far!
--- PT Sumário: Depois de fazer o acabamento do forro nas mangas e na abertura dos punhos, não resisti a terminar o acabamento dos punhos. Gravei um vídeo no instagram que vos dará uma ideia de como fica. Depois passei à parte de coser as mangas à jaqueta à mão. Continuem a ler para verem o meu progresso até ao momento!
